I don't.  I don't think there's currently even a way to simply disable 
tagline imaging even just for testing purposes.  It can be disabled in 
the source code, and tagline images are not currently imaged on MMR 
faxes with HylaFAX CVS (so you could test with that, I guess).

I'm not sure, however, how you expect a tagline to be imaged if the 
image space behind it is not removed.  I.e., if we image the tagline 
over the existing image, then the tagline may not be readable.  Adding 
a white border to the letters in the tagline would probably look 
confusing.  If we add lines to the top of the image then we'd have to 
still alter the image if the receiver does not support unlimited page 
length.  So, it's done the way it is.  How would you prefer that it be 
done?

How much more space?  Double?  Half?

A receiver does not, in most cases, do anything to a received image.  
So I don't suspect it would be the receiving fax machine.
